Another hacked account. I am wondering how these hackers do to hack an account. Is it really easy for them to do this? I can't Imagine why there are people like this who do like to hack accounts not only in BCT accounts. I can't believe why they do this when in fact they were smart and could earn money in an a good way. Well, what else should we do? Secure account with two way factor or change pass every other month maybe?
I would guess that they are getting access to the email accounts attached to the passwords. Most likely the emails attached to the accounts expire. Satoshi himself was victim of the disaster that is gmx. It's really bad. I've lost access to several gmx email accounts myself. It looks like there is a very short period of inactivity allowed before you risk it getting deleted. Then they could register the same account again and gain access.
Other possibility is database breach from either email or the forum itself.
The incentive to steal BCT accounts is obvious, they have value, specially ranked ones, because of the reputation they have, they usually use it for ICO's, bounties, advertising, and they can also sell it to someone else for BTC.
We really need a way to recover accounts soon. I hope theymos delivers on this somewhere next year.
